View towards Wilton roundabout

View towards Ross-on-Wye across Wilton roundabout. Almost dead centre is the Gazebo Tower, the large white building is the Royal Hotel. You can also see the spire of St Mary's church, whilst in the distance is May Hill. Perhaps the best landmark in this part of the country to get your bearings.

Sunday eats

Parsons the bakery is open and doing a good trade; the cafe next door is closed. The planting box will be 'made over' to a remembrance feature in a few days.
